Naupactus cervinus, the Fuller rose beetle or Fuller's rose weevil, is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae.[1][2][3][4] Native to South America, it has been in North America since the 19th century. [5] This species is believed to reproduce parthogenically as no male specimens have ever been found.[5]
